By Joanna Dai

Founder and CEO of Dai

First of all, a huge thank you to our Dai'namic Women community.

There's a lot to be proud of. There's a lot to be grateful for. There's quietly a powerful force within us, individually and as a collective, that is emerging through the noise, despite the challenges, and in the face of uncertainty in the current times.

It's always been there. It's always been patient. It's always been unquestionably self-assured. We are stronger than we think, braver than we know, more ready than ever for what lies ahead. What each of us is doing matters- to women, to our society, to our planet.

Because? The world is better when women succeed.

As we wrap up 202, we reflect back on our most Dai'namic year yet. The future is bright (and comfy), and we look forward to sharing it with you!

When we launched our first-ever Jumpstart Jumpsuit, it sold out in just 4 hours - answering the need of women for comfort-yet-polished style, everyday and everywhere.

For our fourth year in a row, and second year partnering with Smart Works, we committed proceeds from our Green Friday and #GivingTuesday campaign to support women getting back-to-work.

09. RE | COLLECTION

Renew. Revive. Regenerate. We launched our back-to-life, keep-the-comfort collection.

We introduced FLOW (For Life Or Work) with our first ever legging-in-disguise and the power of plants with Plant Silk.

08. FLOW-ED

We launched our newest workleisure collection, FLOW (For Life Or Work), so you can flow from work to yoga and everything in between.

Our newest bestseller of 2021? The Power Move™ FLOW Legging.

07. The DAI'ALOGUE RELAUNCH

The Dia'logue is well, as it sounds. An ongoing, ever-evolving conversation between us and you. Because when it comes to empowerment? We've got a lot to say.

We also opened not one but two stores in central London to deliver comfort-empowered performance to you.

Our next retail space? Stay tuned.
